Driver videotapes 2×4 smashing into her windshield (video)

A woman annoyed with a pair of trucks holding up traffic on a North Carolina highway decided to make a video of their game of “cat and mouse” so she could send it to their respective companies.

While behind the wheel of her Kia Sedona minivan near the town of Shelby, 40-year-old Wendy Cobb pulled out her video camera phone.

But instead of just trucker shenanigans, she came within inches of recording her own death or maiming.

Cobb gave this account to Jalopnik:

“I was actually taping two trucks doing a little ‘cat and mouse’ game and holding up traffic. (I always say I’ll send it to the companies they work for, let them know how they are representing the company, but I never do. Can’t help it – I’m in marketing so I always think about things like that)

“The 2×4 was in the road, along with several others, but when the truck in front of me hit it, and then his trailer hit it, it just propelled it into me. I don’t know why I didn’t scream or cuss or cry, I guess just pure shock, I could barely form words to call 911. But I most definitely know how lucky I was. Damage was mostly the hood and windshield, again, very lucky.”
